Detroit Lions - New England Patriots Day 1 joint practice observations: Hot start, slow finish

The Detroit Lions and New England Patriots took the field Monday morning for their first of three joint practices. The practice ran significantly longer than other sessions this training camp, so today, our observations will try to catch as much as possible.

Instead of just general thoughts from practice, I’m going to go drill-by-drill in chronological order and pick out my observations from each session.

But, as always, let’s start with...

Jarrad Davis was the most notable absence from Monday’s practice. Davis was on the field early in street clothes, but as soon as warm ups were finished, he headed straight to the locker room.
